[user:adelikat]: This page is manually updated, and therefore never up to to date. A better idea than using this page is to simply use the following lua snippet yourself:
console.log( joypad.getimmediate() )
Which will log to the lua console all the available button names for the given core and controller configuration.

Here is a list of joypad table key names used in Lua. Key names are case-sensitive.
Every joypad table key name of a numbered controller (not null) has an equivalent key name in the null controller formed by {{"P"..controller_number.." "..key_name}}. For example, key "Left" on controller 4 has an altername key name "P4 Left" in the null controller.
